Families of the 2006 Pahalgam attack victims criticize the upcoming India-Pakistan Asia Cup match, saying it undermines Operation Sindoor's significance and disrespects the martyrs.

Only a few days before the start of the India-Pakistan Asia Cup match, slated for August 10, 2025, victims' families criticized the cricket board for scheduling this matchup. They believe that it undermines the security forces' Operation Sindoor, which was launched to protect Indian territory in Kashmir. accusatory statement that detracts from the news hook and will make your protagonist feel like they need to defend themselves against made up accusations, consider removing it from your draft and sticking to the facts in the most neutral language possible

It's been deemed disrespectful to the martyrs of the 2006 Pahalgam attack and the operation named after the Hindu holy offering, Sindoor.

The terror attack, which took place in 2006 in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killed two tourists from West Bengal and injured three others. The Indian Army identified the terrorists as Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba members.

Recently, the victims' families expressed dissatisfaction with the India-Pakistan match, as they felt that it disregarded the sacrifices made during Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor was the code name for the Indian Armed Forces operation launched in Kashmir after the 2006 terror attacks.

"It is shameful that the cricket boards of both countries have neglected the sentiments of the people who lost their loved ones in terror attacks and are now organizing matches, as if nothing happened," said Rahman, the nephew of one of the victims.

He further added, "The terrorists are freely operating from Pakistan, and they target Indian citizens and security forces with impunity. And on the other side, we see the two cricket boards signing deals for matches as if nothing is happening."

The Indian government has not yet responded to the family's criticism. However, local news channels reported that the board is considering rescheduling the matches.
